Punctuality of Indian Railways at 80 pc, better than many European nations: Vaishnaw

Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday told the Rajya Sabha that the overall punctuality of Indian Railways has significantly increased to 80 per cent which was better than several European countries.

Replying to supplementaries during Question Hour, the minister said several railway divisions have already crossed the 90 per cent punctuality mark, highlighting the impact of strengthened maintenance practices and systematic operational upgrades implemented in recent years.
